From the Publisher's description:
Forget the traditional way of gardening in massive, long rows. Even the tiniest of spaces can produce an abundance of food—if you know how!
A typical day in the 21st century often involves a ton of stress, too much time sitting at a screen, and an unhealthy diet of processed foods.
Gardening provides a straightforward antidote to most of these day-to-day problems and is a good form of exercise that builds strength.
Besides, spending time in your garden enables you to appreciate nature while reducing stress and boosting your mood.
And if you grow your own food, you can improve your diet and physical health with fresh fruits, vegetables, and herbs.
However, growing your garden can become frustrating if you need help figuring out where to start or are short on space.
Raised-bed and container gardening are excellent solutions to many issues that traditional gardening brings about – ideal for beginners and experts, large gardens, and even smaller spaces.
By following the 7 steps in this guide, you will have all it takes to plan and build thriving raised beds and container gardens that produce a wide range of fresh food.
Here’s a fraction of what you will discover within:
How to set up your garden for maximum results, taking advantage of vertical spaces and mini greenhouses – even if you are upcycling materials at home
Common container sizes and what grows well in each
The essentials of soil health and how to boost nutrients in the soil by adding your own compost (you also get to reduce your household waste!)

How to set up a simple watering system so your plants stay hydrated without drowning

Pruning techniques for everything, from herbs to dwarf citrus trees
What to do when pests and diseases won’t leave your garden alone
Tons of raised bed designs that don’t just involve traditional rectangular wooden beds
A FREE garden planner to help you keep track of what has been planted and when to expect food
And much more.
In your busy schedule, the last thing you need is to spend time and money on a garden that provides neither beauty nor food.
With this guide, you can make your efforts count as you plant ornamentals, fruits, herbs, and vegetables without worrying about space!
Don’t let small space and guesswork hold you back when you can create a bountiful garden in just 7 steps!
